Well, June got away from me but, here we go again with another shooting contest.
This months challenge is a 5-shot shooting contest. You will try to place one shot as close to center as possible and one shot as close to each corner of your targets as possible.
Center shot will be measured from the center of the ball to the center of the target.
Corner shots will be measured from center of ball to corner of target. A shot that even touches the edge of the target counts. An off-paper shot that does not cut the edge of the target still counts as a shot but is a miss. No do-overs!
Take 5 Shots, one at each corner and one at the center of a blank 8.5"x 11" sheet of typing/printer paper with an X drawn thru the center at 25 yards. If you miss, do not try again. Misses count!
One target entry per member.
5 shots per target, hit or miss.
Mutilated targets and targets with more than 5 holes will be disqualified.
No do-overs.
Only registered forum members may participate.
Only traditional, open iron sighted muzzleloading firearms (NO Cannons). Percussion or flintlock, matchlock or wheel lock ignition.
Single patched round ball only. No restrictions on caliber. (a patchless ball may be used if so desired)
Shots will be taken off-hand at the stated distance.(Standing or seated is allowed, elbows unsupported by anything other than the shooters torso)(In the event that a member is not physically able to hold his rifle up unsupported, a "prop-rod" that is supported only by the shooters torso, no part of which prop-rod may touch the ground, may be used to hold up the fore-end of the rifle)
Only original targets will be accepted. No copies, faxes, scans, etc.
The center of the target will be determined by the judge.
Judges decisions are final.
Each contestant's score will be posted at the end of the contest.
Your member screen name must be written on your targets.
Mail your target postmarked by August 8, 2016 to;
